<H2> Welcome to CIM Group's Mosaic Homepage!</H2>

<P> <b>Purpose: </b> To advance the state-of-the art in Computer
Integrated Manufacturing, both at the factory and the shop floor
level.  Emphasis is given to the development and application of
advanced modeling tools for complex manufacturing systems.  The
integration of information is being implemented using AI production
systems and distributed architectures. <p> <b>Support: </b> <!WA4><A
